OME  OF  THE  REASONS  WHY  WE  MAKE  MORE  CHURCH 
FURNITURE  THAN  ANY  ONE  ELSE  IN  THE  WORUD. 


We  devote  more  attention  to  it. 

Our  factories  are  equipped  with  the  latest  improved  machinery,  many  machines  having'  been  designed  and  made 
especially  for  our  work. 

We  have  gathered  in  our  shops  a  fine  lot  of  experienced  mechanics  in  every  department  of  the  business. 

We  carry  immense  stocks  of  hardwood  lumber,  cut  and  seasoned  in  our  own  yards  especially  for  this  work. 

Our  patrons  are  so  well  pleased  that  they  always  speak  well  of  us. 

Our  designs  are  original  and  fresh,  not  stolen  copies  of  other  people’s  ideas. 

Our  varied  experience  in  furnishing  so  many  thousands  of  churches  is  of  great  value,  and  used  for  the  practical 
benefit  of  our  patrons. 

We  make  all  our  Curved  Circular  Pews  under  Falhaber’s  patent,  so  that  our  customers  are  safe  from  any  possible 
future  annoyance  from  infringement  suits. 

We  present  a  combination  of  advantages  which  are  not  found  anywhere  else.

There  is  such  a  variety  of  lengths,  and  so  many  peculiarities  of  shapes  wanted  to  fit  different  churches,  it  is  impos¬ 
sible  to  anticipate  them  all,  and  we  urge  our  friends  to  give  us  their  orders  at  as  early  a  day  as  possible.  We  will  furnish 
estimates  on  any  style  of  Church  Seat,  but  think  that  our  own  styles  combine  comfort,  elegance  and  cheapness  in  a  greater 
degree  than  can  be  found  elsewhere.

Above  is  shown  four  leading  styles  of  pew  bodies. 

No.  41  lias  plain  back  and  plain  flat  seat,  for  use  with  or  without  cushions  and  is  for  straight  pews  only. 

No.  74  has  three  ply  curved  back  and  three  ply  curved  seat  for  straight  pews,  and  is  to  use  without  cushions,  being 
of  correct  shape  to  afford  most  comfortable  sittings. 

Nos.  82  and  83  are  for  circular  pews,  No.  82  having  shaped  seat  for  use  without  cushions,  and  No.  83  having  flat  seat 
for  cushions.  These  are  made  on  anv  radius  to  correspond  to  the  seating  plan.  On  another  page  is  shown  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  these  three  ply  backs. 

Our  experience  of  over  twenty  years  in  the  church  furniture  business  has  enabled  us  to  determine  the  proper  heights, 
curves  and  angles  of  pew  bodies  to  afford  the  most  comfortable  sittings,  thus  insuring  to  the  purchaser  that  desirable 
quality  in  a  church  pew. 


GLOBE  FURNITURE  COMPANY,  NORTH YILLE,  MICH. 


There  is  no  Question  .  .  .  . 

BUT  THAT  THE 

BEST  METHOD 
OF  SEATING 

A  CHURCH  AUDIENCE  ROOM  IS  WITH  PEWS  SET  IN 

Circular  Lines. 


The  only  open  question  in  the  matter  is  how  best  to 
accomplish  this  result.  The  cut  in  this  page  shows  a 
method  of  construction  which  is  the  result  of  years 
of  painstaking. 

.  Patented  Nov.  24,  1885 

The  front  section  and  the  center  or  core  are  broken  away  “  Nov.  22,  1892. 

in  the  cut,  showing  in  Fig.  i  a  continuous  layer  of  wood  with  the  grain  of  the  wood  running 
lengthwise.  Fig.  2  shows  a  portion  of  the  core  or  center  layer  with  the  grain  of  the  wood  running  crosswise  and 
extending  into  the  grooved  top  rail.  Fig.  3  shows  a  portion  of  the  front  layer,  which  when  complete  ex¬ 
tends  the  entire  length  of  the  pew  back  with  the  grain  of  the  wood  running  lengthwise. 

These  three  layers  of  wood  are  cemented  together  under  pressure  and  in  forms  giving  them  the  proper 
curvature  in  both  longitudinal  and  transverse  sections,  forming  a  pew  back  perfect  in  curvature  and  of 
unequalled  strength. 

When  these  are  designed  to  be  used  without  cushions  the  seat  bottoms  are  made  “built  up"  and  shape  as  is  shown  in 
'.he  cut.  When  for  use  with  cushions  the  seat  bottoms  should  be  as  shown  in  our  No.  83  on  preceding  page.
